Newsom Had The Sickest Burn During His Debate With DeSantis And Hannity

Last edited Fri Dec 1, 2023, 09:48 PM - Edit history (1)

Even though he was outmatched 2 to 1, Newsom completely owned DeSantis for a full 90 minutes.

By Red Painter — December 1, 2023

Gavin Newsom is the absolutely best surrogate for the Biden/Harris campaign. He is right up there with Pete Buttigieg in terms of handling the craziness from the right wing echo chamber. And Newsom's skills were on shining display on Thursday when he debated Ron DeSantis (with a solid assist from Hannity). Even in a 2 to 1 situation, Newsom dominated for the full 90 minutes.

One of the absolute best moments was when he launched into a full throated defense of the Biden/Harris record and ended with a zinger that will definitely be in ads for both sides for the next few months...until DeSantis drops out.

NEWSOM: I'm here to tell the truth about the Biden/Harris record and compare and contrast it with Ron DeSantis' record...points of contrast that are as different as daylight and darkness. You want to bring us back to pre-1960s world. America, in reverse. You want to roll back hard earned national rights on voting rights, on civil rights, LGBTQ rights, on women's rights, not just access to abortion, but also access to contraception. You want to weaponize grievance. You are focusing on false separateness. You in particular, Ron, want to create a cultural purge intimidating and humiliating people you disagree with. You and President Trump are really trying to light democracy on fire. So Sean, there are profound differences tonight. And I look forward in engaging. But there's one thing in closing that we have in common, that is neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024.


K.O. In the first round.

i knew Newsom would be good, but Holy cow! He's going to make a great president some day.

Just seeing how uncomfortable Deathsantis and Hannity were reminds me of discussions I've had with RWNJs. They go away all butt hurt and upset. Remember you started this discussion, flinging your weak-ass talking points. Let me set the record straight.

Come back any time fellas!

He is term limited and doesn't look like he is going to look at a Senate bid. I wouldn't be surprised his China visit prior to Biden's was to clear the air and be an outside and honest broker at the request of Biden. And Biden may have promised him a spot in the next Admin after the election.

Slapping DeSantis around could just be practice for when he gets more onto the national stage. Hannity seems to know Newsom is going places and it would be smart to hitch his cart to him, even being in opposition will bring him up.

If he looks like an "honest critic" instead of the basket case he is that will have to go to one of the wannabe Fox channels, he can negotiate for a longer term, contract, etc.

Throw in the towel NOW, Ron, while it's still early enough for most people to forget about this and save you the further (and ongoing) embarrassment.

You are THOROUGHLY and COMPLETELY OUTCLASSED. Gavin Newsom wiped the floor with you and then threw what was left of you into the nearest dumpster. He's smarter than you, better than you, AND easier on the eyes than you can EVER hope or even dream to be.
